Zoho Books integrated · works standalone

Run manufacturing on real numbers.

Batchy keeps inventory, production and shipments in one place — every lot, every warehouse, every document traceable to the person who posted it. No spreadsheets in between, no month-end guesswork.

Lot & warehouse: level stock
Builds & process: runs with yield
Two-way: Zoho Books sync
Full: activity trail

Fundamentals

Manufacturing, reduced to four simple habits

No modules to configure for weeks. Receive material, make product, move it, ship it — Batchy keeps the numbers honest along the way.

Know exactly what you have

Stock is tracked per item, per warehouse and per lot. Open an item and see every movement that made its balance what it is.

Turn inputs into outputs

Record what was consumed and what came out. Batchy does the costing, the lot allocation and the balance updates for you.

One document per action

Receipts, transfers, adjustments, builds, process runs, shipments and invoices each get a permanent number you can find again.

Everyone sees the same numbers

Roles keep production, purchasing and sales in their own lanes, while an activity log records who changed what and when.

The one distinction that matters

Build or Process?

Both create stock. The difference is how predictable the recipe is — and whether quality and yield need watching.

Build

Assemble a finished item from a fixed bill of materials. Components go in, one product comes out, and the quantities are known before you start.

Pick the assembly and the quantity
Components are consumed from the BOM
Finished item lands in the chosen warehouse

Process

A production run that transforms material at a work centre. Inputs are consumed as they were actually used, and outputs — including by-products — are recorded with their real yield, lot numbers and QC result.

Actual input and output quantities with yield
Batch numbers and QC hold before release

Batchy process transaction form with two finished-goods outputs and six consumed inputs, each showing quantity, cost each and allocated value — One process run consumes several materials and yields several finished items. Batchy records the real quantities used, then apportions the total input cost across every output to give each one an honest unit cost.

	Build	Process
Recipe	Fixed bill of materials	Formula or work-centre routing
Inputs	Component items in known quantities	One or more materials, quantities can vary
Outputs	One finished assembly	Main output plus by-products
Yield	Assumed 1:1 against the BOM	Actual yield recorded against expected
Lots	Consumes component lots	Consumes and creates batch/lot numbers
Quality	Usually not needed	QC status and holds before release
Typical use	Kits, packs, assembled goods	Blending, filling, cooking, refining

Sub-assemblies

Supports BOMs within BOMs

Real products are built in stages: raw materials become a batch, the batch becomes a filled bottle, the bottle becomes a pack. Batchy models that hierarchy natively.

BOMs inside BOMs

A component can itself be an assembly with its own recipe. Nest semi-finished goods as deep as your product really goes — no flattening, no duplicate recipes to maintain.

Fully exploded in one click

The Expanded BOM report walks every sub-assembly and shows the true raw-material requirement for the quantity you plan to make.

Rolled-up cost and availability

Each level carries its own cost each and line total, rolling up to a material cost total, with on-hand shown beside every requirement so shortages are obvious.

Perfect cost allocation

Every rupee follows the material

Quantities and money stay joined at the hip, from the lot you consumed to the invoice you raised.

Inputs valued as they were really consumed

Each consumed lot carries its own cost. Batchy uses the actual weighted-average value of the stock you picked, not a standard price.

Split across every output by yield

One process run, several outputs: the total input cost is apportioned over main outputs and by-products from the quantities you recorded.

COGS that ties out

The cost that lands on a finished lot is the cost that leaves on the shipment — and the same figure your Zoho Books invoice reports.

Users & roles

Permission controls built for a real shop floor

Operators, buyers, sellers and owners share one set of numbers while each sees only what their job needs.

Four clear roles

Admin, Production, Purchase and Sales. Users can hold more than one role, and access is simply the union of what those roles allow.

Modules stay in their lane

Production works on builds, process runs and BOMs; Purchase on vendors, orders and receipts; Sales on customers, orders, invoices and shipments. Stock they only need to read stays read-only.

Price visibility you decide

Purchase and selling price visibility is switched on per person. Production never sees any price, cost, margin or valuation — by design, not by setting.

Hide what shouldn't be seen

Specific items and process templates can be hidden from individual users, so proprietary recipes stay with the people who need them.

A permanent activity trail

Every create, edit and post is recorded with the user's name and time, readable as plain sentences on the document itself — and carried into Zoho notes.

Safe by default

Invitations are email-based, admins cannot change their own roles or lock themselves out, and permissions are enforced in the database, not just the screen.

Role	Owns	Sees prices?
Admin	Every module, users & roles, settings, reports, data tools	Everything
Production	Builds, process runs, work orders, BOMs & templates	Never
Purchase	Vendors, purchase orders, receipts, returns to vendor	Purchase prices, when enabled
Sales	Customers, estimates, orders, invoices, pick tickets, shipments	Selling prices, when enabled

Your accounting, your choice

Tightly integrated with Zoho Books — or fully standalone

Connect Zoho Books and the two systems stay in step, document by document. Prefer to keep Batchy on its own? Everything still works.

With Zoho Books

Zoho Books stays your financial source of truth; Batchy owns quantities, lots and item classification. Items, customers and vendors, purchase orders, bills, receipts, transfers, adjustments, invoices, shipments and payments flow both ways, with taxes and warehouse locations mapped to your Zoho setup.

Guided first-time import of organisation, taxes, warehouses and items
Every posted document carries the Batchy user's name into Zoho notes
Parity reports flag any quantity or valuation drift between the two
Payments recorded in Zoho reflect back on the Batchy invoice

On its own

Nothing about manufacturing waits on an accounting connection. Run inventory, production and fulfilment start to finish inside Batchy, and connect Zoho Books later without redoing your history.

Complete inventory, purchasing, production and sales flow
Warehouse-wise valuation and COGS reporting built in
Import your opening stock from a spreadsheet to get going
Connect Zoho Books whenever you're ready
